Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) (“Textainer”) today announced a change in the reporting of both common and preferred dividends paid to its shareholders in 2021 for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Textainer previously reported on IRS Form 8937 that all of its 2021 distributions were to be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of each shareholder’s relative income tax basis. With revised reporting, these distributions are now to be considered taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Amended 2021 IRS Form 8937s are available on Textainer’s website, which can be accessed at https://investor.textainer.com/form8937.

The table below summarizes the tax treatment for dividends paid in 2021 on the Company’s Common Shares (NYSE:TGH):

Textainer also previously announced that for dividends paid on March 15, 2022 on the Company’s Common Shares (NYSE:TGH) the distribution may be treated as a nontaxable return of capital. Consistent with the revised reporting of 2021 distributions, the March 15, 2022 distribution should be considered taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please note that the taxable dividend characterization provided is an estimate, and the final characterization of the distribution will not be determinable until year-end because the earnings and profits of TGH cannot be determined until year-end.
